Robotic Machine Tending

Work safely with robotic machine tending

Machine Tending can be dangerous work and requires the consistency that a robotic solution can provide. Robots replace human interaction to move product from a supply position, transport it to a machine, orient it, and then interact with the machine. Our designs are capable of handling items as small as a dime and as large as a refrigerator – in turn key solutions.

How Robotic Machine Tending works:

Robotic machine tending can provide manipulation and transport capabilities that are more complex than basic material handling processes. Machine tending robots are used to secure the product from a supply position, transport it to a machine, interact with the machine and then remove the finished part from the machine. Managing this process by robot minimizes incorrect product placement due to human error and increases speed and efficiency of production.

Benefits of Robotic Machine Tending:

Bastian is able to take on machine tending projects that are highly customized given the flexibility of our in-house design and manufacturing. Benefits of a machine tending system from Bastian include:

Repeatable accuracy and improved quality of production (increases more than 25%)

Minimizes human error & improves ergonomic conditions

Short ROI & lower overhead cost compared to manual machine tending

Robots can be mounted between 2 machines or overhead to save valuable floor space
